BAK FIle Being Saved as PDF

[Cbennett022]

When I am saving down my Alteryx workflow, macros etc the BAK file is saving down as a PDF type. Not sure how this changes but I cannot figure out how to correct this. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Cbennett022 ,

That is probably related to windows actually. I'm sharing a link that shows how to remove file association in windows .

@fmvizcaino is correct. Windows has settings that indicate the default program associated to specific file extensions. You should be able to set it following the instructions provided. Alternatively, you can right click on the bak file, go to "open with", and navigate to the Alteryx Designer executable.
